Leicester Comedy Festival Zine (University Final Project)

For my final negotiated project at University I decided to make a zine and poster for the Leicester Comedy Festival, to advertise some of the events going on each week and share some news, opinions and insights as an extra collectible piece alongside the existing brochure and programme. The theme of this zine in particular was the joke 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'. One of my favourite outcomes of this project was the title font I created by cutting each letter out of lino, scanning in the prints and creating the typeface out of my images. All of the illustrations for this project were printed in lino, scanned and then coloured digitally. I had tried to aim for a riso/screen print effect to the end products however I unfortunately had to finish this project at home due to COVID-19 so I wasn't able to riso print my final outcomes as planned. Overall I was really happy with the final outcomes of this project, I think I achieved my goal of creating something fun.
